The march down Franklin

Anti-War Mobilization Front
(0 AWM F) attracted over 100
participants yesterday
afternoon, leading to a rally
and speeches by four military
veterans.
, The marchers assembled at
1:30 p.m. in the Morehead
Planetarium parking lot, many
carrying signs. The rally was
held in front of the First
Baptist Church on Roberson
St.
Chapel Hill policemen
directed traffic for the march,
which lasted about twenty-five
minutes. Rain and sleet fell
occasionally.
The marchers followed a
banner reading "Free Speech
for GPs". Adolph Reed and
Scott Bradley, organizers for
the UAWMF, led the march.
Among the signs carried
were "Remember Pearl
Harbor? Then stop our
aggression" and "A free army
in a free society."

The text of the six proposed
amendments reads as follows:
1) In Article II, Section
1.1.1.1. of the Constitution the
phrase which presently reads:
"It shall be the responsibility
of every student at the
University of North Carolina to
obey .the Honor Code,
prohibiting lying, cheating, or

first addressed by Wayne Clark,
an army veteran who spoke on
the role of the civilian in
defending GI dissent. Martin
Violelte, anotherrmyjveteran,
said that in its military
discipline, "the army has
become notorious."
A third speaker, Timothy
Knowlton, a veteran of the
NROTC and UNC and the U.S.
Marine Corps, spoke on the
Uniform Code of Military
Justice, which regulates the
legal process of the armed
services. Knowlton said that
soldiers are not allowed their
constitutional rights when
confronted with the military
legal system.
The final speaker was Dan
Freeman, a former member of
the John Birch Society, who
received a general discharge
from Pope Air Force Base on
Friday, Dec. 6. Freeman said
he was discharged "solely on
my beliefs against the Vietnam
war."
Freeman urged the crowd to
go to Fayetteville, where Ft.
Bragg is located.
The crowd returned down
Franklin St.; although some
remained in the parking lot.
About twenty people left for
Fayetteville by 3:00.
The UAWMF marchers who
went to Fayetteville did not
attempt to distribute leaflets in
Ft. Bragg. They spoke with
GI's and passed out leaflets
supporting freedom of speech
in downtown Fayetteville.
According- to a UAWMF
statement, "Efforts to" work
for GI's rights will be hindered
rather than helped by
provoking an incident similar
to the one that occurred on
Nov. 16 when twelve students
were arrested."
The statement further read.
"Our plans, are today to go to
Fayetteville to exercise our
own right of freedom of speech
in an effort to promote these
same rights for GI's."

' LEXINGTON, Ky.-The
floor at Memorial Colisseum
here belonged to the University
of Kentucky, but the air rights
were Carolina's.
The basketball Tar Heels,
using their height edge to its
towering best advantage, pulled
out a truly sterling 87-77
victory over the third-ranked
Kentucky Wildcats Saturday
night.
It was tabbed as the crucial
match in all the nation east of
UCLA, and second-ranked
Carolina played to one of its
peak efforts ever.
With a front line having an
average height 2 inches per
man advantage over the
Wildcats, the Tar Heels shut off
the middle defensively and
then crippled Kentucky
considerably underneath on
offense.
Center Rusty Clark, 6-10,
and forwards Bill Bunting, 6-8,
and Lee Dedmon, 6-10,
combined for 43 points and
kept Kentucky . outside
defensively.
And when the Wildcats shot
outside, they missed more
often than not. Kentucky hit
only 42.5 per cent from the
field, way off by coach Adolph
Rupp's standards.
The Tar Heels, shooting
mostly from underneath rarely
missed. UNC connected on
53.6 per cent of its field goals,
the best of the season by far.
felark ' hit 8 of 9 field '
attempts for 17 points,
Bunting 6 of 6 for 13 points,
and Dedmon, a sophomore
reserve who looked his best, 4
of 8 for 13 markers.
The Wildcats, whose tallest
man was 6-8 center Dan Issel,
could only stand w atch.
When they leaped, they
always fell short.
And Charlie Scott, who
compared to his front-line
teammates, is small at 6-5, had
a typical Charlie Scoti
performance.
Leading UNC scoring with
19 points Scott led a sharp fast
break and also grabbed 9
rebounds.
He wowed a very partisan
crowd of 11.500 with his
passing, and put Carolina ahead
43-39 at intermission with 11
first-half points.
But while Scott did nothing
unusual for an Olympic
gold-medalist, Clark was in
marked contrast to his
performance in UNC's first two
games.
He grabbed 16 rebounds
while keeping Issel to only 9.
But most importantly, Clark
was a psychological giant.
Kentucky would not go
underneath for their shots,
because Clark stood as a
towering menace. When the
Cats did go inside, they either
saw the ball sailing back at
them after a Clark block or
forced bad shots.
The Carolina man-to-man
ako msie Kentucky shoot
more quickly than it is
accustomed, and it was just not
the night for the Cats to
connect.
The one man who did shoot
well was guard Mike Casey,
who was the game's high scorer
with 26 points. He hit 12 of
22, but that is expected of
Casey.
He's an All-American, one
of the best anywhere.
Over-all, Carolina out
rebounded Kentucky 42-33,
but had a 25-13 edge at
halftime.
The game began with botr
teams swapping baskets. The
lead switched five times early,
but at 17-all, Carolina's height
and speed put them ahead.
Bunting hit a fast-break
lay-up and Dedmon hit one
close in and added a free throw
and before Kentucky knew
what happened, it was 22-17.
Carolina raised the margin
to 9 at 30-21, but Casey
brought the Cats within 4.
That was the closest
Kentucky got again.
UNC rolled off a quick eight
to two advantage of the second
half, and then compiled a 17
point lead at 72-55.
It was all over after that,
and the closest Kentucky came
was nine.

The State Constitution
Study Commission proposed
ten amendments Saturday,
including proposals to give the
Governor veto power and to
allow the chief executive to
succeed himself.
Former
McLendon
and Emery B. Denny, former
chief justice of the State
Supreme Court, revealed the
Commission's recommenda
tions at the second legislative
orientation conference here.
McLendon explained that the
Commission had revised the
present 110-year-old
constitution "editorially" and
that this would be a proposed
amendment itself. There are
nine other major amendments.
North Carolina is the only
state which does not give its
governor veto power. The
General Assembly could
override the gubernatorial veto
: by a 3-5 vote of both houses.

In another amendment, the
Commission proposed that the
Superintendent of Public
Instruction be elected by the
State Board of Education.
"The Superintendent of
Public Instruction shall be the
secretary and chief
administrative officer of the
State Board of Education."
StateSetLtP.' said ' the '-Commission's"
Jr. of Greensboro proposal. There has been
considerable discussion toward
making the superintendent's
job appointive, and
Superintendent-Elect Dr. A.
Craig Phillips is one supporting
such a move.
This action is covered unde
an amendment changing the
method of selection of certain
state executive officers. The
amendment stipulates that an
auditor, treasurer, and attorney
general be elected by the voters
for four-year terms beginning
in 1962.
This would eliminate a
number of elective offices.
Another section of the
amendment states that "except
as otherwise provided in- this
constitution, the governor shall
appoint and may remove, the
heads of all administrative
departments and agencies of
the state. All other offices in
the administrative service . . .
shall be appointed and may be
removed as provided by law."

Chapel Hill Police are
searching for at least three
suspects in connection with a
Friday night robbery of
Wrentworth and Sloan, a
Franklin Street jewelry store.
According to police, thieves
found missing early Saturday
morning by police and
Richmond Sloan, proprietor of
the store.
Sloan said it will require
about a week to determine
exactly what items were taken
and to estimate their worth.
The store's safe was d riled
open but the tear gas attached

This Evangelist Is Probably The Fastest Draw In The World

By JOHN REIMLER
DTH Staff Writer
Here's Bud Spriggs shuffling away from the gunslinger ten feet
in front of him. Sprigg's lower lip curls, his eyes watch the other
man's holster. The other guy reaches, but Bud's too fast. He jerks
his single action .45 revolver out of its holster and zap, the other
guy crumples in the dusty street.
Spriggs, who plays Ringo in a skit at Fort Apache in Pigeon
Forge, (near his home in Gatlinburg) thinks he's probably one of
the fastest draws around.
"I beat a man that said he was the fastest draw in the world,"
he says. "I've been offered three jobs in western movies. One of
them was with Twentieth Century Fox."
Spriggs says he's going to Hollywood soon, to have his draw
timed, not to make movies. He figures he can get his .45 out and
shoot in about .18 second, but he wants to find out for sure.
Here's Bud Spriggs, with his red socks and red tie, raising his
voice to near yell pitch, shaking his fist, preaching the gospel to
the folks at the Calvary Missionary Baptist Church revival this
weekend in Carrboro.
Spriggs is a fast draw artist only part of the time.
Spriggs, 34, describes himself as an evangelist. (He also
operates the Chaplain's Tour Through Hell, an attraction in
Gatlinburg when he's not fast drawing or preaching.)
He says he likes to keep his sen ices informal. He usually plays
an electric Spanish guitar ("I guess you would say I play a
mixture of Chet Atkins and classical music") during the service.
He likes to start his sermon with a folksy joke. ("This ol' boy I
once heard of took to drink ..." and ended up
swollowing possum guts, thinking he had thrown up his ow7n
insides.)
Spriggs uses a dramatic technique for his delivery that make
his sermons end up like a one-man-play with Spriggs playing all
the parts.
One of his favorite sermons is "A Trip Through Hell". (His
Chaplain's Trip Through Hell came from this sermon)
"I take the audience through the different parts of hell. I play
the part for several characters in hell and from these characters
the audience gets an idea of what hell is really like.
Spriggs preaches that a second coming is eminent.
"There won't be an end to the world, but there will be a seven
year period or tribulation following the second coming." He says
millenium of near sin-less life will follow the period of
tribulation.
So here's Bub Spriggs in a promotional picture in his black
cowboy shirt and pants one leg propped in a chair,the muzzle of
his pistol against the brim of his hat.

thieves.
Small items such as cigarette
lighters and charms were taken
from shelves, said Sloan,
besides the more valuable
diamonds and watches.
Police said the original lock
on the front door was replaced
by one similar to it by thieves.
The front door was relocked so
as to appear un tampered.
A policeman discovered the
robbery at about 4 a.m.
Saturday morning when the
new lock fell off the door as he
routinely checked the store.
Police found several sets of
unidentified fingerprints in the
store and a laundry bag was
found in a back room.
Police suspect the men left
through the back door which
was found unlocked.
Investigating Officer Arthur
Summey of the Chapel Hill
Police Department said
witnesses saw men entering the
front door of the store at
about 10 p.m. One man was
seen standing outside.
Sloan said the delay in
estimating the worth of the
stolen items is due to a
fluctuating inventory.
"During the Christmas
season, items are quickly
received and sold," Sloan said.
Sloan added that the stolen
merchandise is covered by
insurance.
The robbery is being
